Dr Libby Weaver will appear in Hamilton next week as part of an Australasian tour unveiling the mysteries of the female body in an educational seminar suitable for all ages. The internationally acclaimed nutritional biochemist, author and speaker will be at Hamilton Boys' High School hall next Tuesday.
"Many of us learned about the way our bodies worked from our mothers, and many of our mothers learned how our bodies worked from our grandmothers, or from a high school teacher, but what many of them probably didn't explain was intricate biochemistry and cellular workings of our incredible bodies," says Dr Libby.
"This is my 17th year working with clients, and it breaks my heart to hear stories from women of how they suffer unnecessarily with their hormones and menstrual cycle each month and it surprises me just how little people know about the intricacies of their own body. Eighty-five per cent of women report that they suffer from PMT symptoms each month and it simply doesn't need to be this way," says Dr Libby.
In this seminar Dr Libby will explain how the amazing female body works and how many body systems interact, including how stress impacts sex hormone balance; estrogen as a fat storage hormone and when in excess can lead to fluid retention; how to support your body's ability to regulate sex hormones; mood, energy, stress levels, sleep and weight loss; the role the thyroid gland plays in women's health and much more.
Dr Libby is one of Australasia's leading nutrition specialists and women's health experts.
She is the bestselling author of: Accidentally Overweight, Rushing Woman's Syndrome, Real Food Chef, Beauty from the Inside Out, Real Food Kitchen, The Calorie Fallacy and Sweet Food Story.
Tickets are $39.95 and can be purchased from drlibby.com or limited sales on the door on the night. Doors open at 6.30pm and the seminar begins at 7pm.
